Subject: very splashy
The recording has picked up extreme amounts of cymbal. I've never heard a mix so splashy, and I find it a bit annoying. I suppose this is a good thing for folks who want focus on the drumming, but it seems something is lacking in the vocals as a result(??) Anyway, I don't remember the big rig putting out this way in person. But still grateful for access to the recording and the efforts of the taper. Thank you! The performance is quite nice so I'm sticking with it anyway. cheers!

Playin' is the standout on this excellent sounding tape. Big and serious with Jerry riffing circles and Keith with that awesome Chick Corea "Bitches Brew" sound flooding in and out and punching everyone in the face whenever the jam starts to disintegrate.

Big Truckin' with a Nobody's and this is the goods.

Subject: One of the best auds of 74
Even if you're SBD snob, give this recording a listen. Amazing sound for a 70s audience recording, probably my favorite out there for 74 (Jerry Moore's recordings included).

Tremendous stuff that brings the experience home in the best way possible.

Oh yeah, as with most of 74, this show isn't shabby either :)

Seriously the sound quality of this AUD is outstanding, completely crystal clear. And I am a big fan of AUDs, give me the energy of the crowd and the odd ambient noises over the crystal clear SBDs everyday, but with this AUD you don't really have to choose.

Also, the jam on Playing In The Band is great and Row Jimmy is excellent. 5 Stars.

Delicate, precise interplay between musicians... Technically sound and JAMS like a bitch.

If anything, the vocals could be a bit more prevalent on some of the tracks.

Download and go!

Subject: Unbelievable Recording!
I have never posted a review before, but this recording was so crystal clear that I felt compelled to write a review.

Unbelievable sound. Thank you so much for uploading to the site.

BTW, this site completely rocks!!

dear rob bertrando,

you are my taper HERO. why? your recordings are an amazing window onto an amazing time. yes, there are those intrepid ushers at the capitol back east here, but there's always the issue of crowd decency, no? really, what i'm saying is THANK YOU.

too often i find myself listening to sound boards and just not getting IT. why is this such an important show, i'm thinking. well, i'm one who needs a good audience recording to hear how the house sounded. i like the echo, the weird oddities of ambient anomalies, the swell. the shows that i experienced are reverberating through my BONES, not through a clean processor.

anyway, all the sound problems and mice here are healy and jackson's problem. there's an annoying ring of feedback that swirls around for a while that sounds like a wall-of-sound mic problem. then, it sounds like one of jerry's pick-ups is on the fritz. but bertrando, you capture it in all it's warty glory.

why would anyone listen to a soundboard when there's an audience tape as clear as this?

bertrando, i wish there was a pulitzer in it for you, pal.

thanks again.

Hadn't heard this one before -- maybe the best audience recording of the Wall of Sound I've heard yet.

As I tend to do for most '73'74 shows I flipped right to the Row Jimmy to get a feel for the groove and, yeah, it's hot. Bill Fxcking Kreutzman baby. Wait for the post-jukebox-tore-down section for some real sweet Keith action on the keys. I'm telling you: RJ is the litmus test for this era.

Next I flipped to the Wharf Rat outro. Ahhhhh....

Reminds me: it still stinks that you can't download the mixes of the 10/20/74 version (best Wharf Rat ever) that were available before. They beat the mixes on the GD Movie CD ...

Nevertheless, I must raise all five fingers to this recording and performance.

This show sounds great. Phil comes through loud and strong. I haven't listened to the entire show but the boys sounds energised.
